FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Researchers Monitor And Evaluate Joining Techniques

New composite materials such as carbon are being used more frequently in many markets such as automotive, aircraft, and railway manufacturing. These materials can offer benefits for the design and production of vehicles including higher performance levels or lighter weights, but also come with challenges in terms of manufacturing, inspection, and maintenance. Researchers at the Laboratory for Materials and Joining Technology (LWF) are focusing on the development of joining techniques for these composite materials. Download this application note for how FLIR Systems’ thermal imaging cameras are being used to test these innovative joining techniques to find the most durable and energy-efficient materials.
